The Sheppards created a marvellous transitional style of R&B during the early 60s, drawing much of its character from earlier doo-wop, yet incorporating instrumentation and vocal stylings that in later years would inform soul music. They were named after their producer Bill ‘Bunky’ Sheppard. The members were lead and bass Millard Edwards, lead and top tenor Murrie Eskridge, baritone Jimmy Allen, bass and fifth tenor James Dennis Isaac, second tenor O.C. Perkins and guitarist Kermit Chandler. The group’s most famous song was the doo-wop ballad ‘Island Of Love’ (1959), but later tracks included ‘The Glitter In Your Eyes’ (1961) and ‘Tragic’ (1962). All the members had been veterans of the R&B scene for several years before joining together as the Sheppards. Eskridge and Perkins were members of the Palms on United in 1957, and Edwards, Allen and Isaac were members of the Bel Aires on Decca Records in 1958. Edwards left the group in 1967 to join the Esquires, another Sheppard-produced group. The Sheppards broke up in 1969. Jimmy Allen died in 1980, and Kermit Chandler in 1981.

"Coming Home" Sheppard
Lyrics
I've been stuck in motion
Moving too fast
Tryna catch a moment but it slips through my hands
All I see are long days and dark nights
I'm lost without you, but I'm on my way, so hold tight
I'm coming home tonight
Meet me in the valley where the kids collide into the morning
Oh my god, my town is coming alive (coming alive)
I'm coming home tonight, I know you're ready for the sparks to fly
Into the morning
Oh my god, my town is coming alive
'Cause I'm coming home tonight
'Cause I'm coming home tonight
Don't wanna spend my whole life catching my breath
'Cause I've been running 'round and 'round and 'round
And I've got nothing left
There's nothing like a sunset skyline
To let you know you're almost home
So breathe in, and hold tight
I'm coming home tonight
Meet me in the valley where the kids collide into the morning
Oh my god, my town is coming alive (coming alive)
I'm coming home tonight, I know you're ready for the sparks to fly
Into the morning
Oh my god, my town is coming alive
'Cause I'm coming home tonight
Yes, I'm coming home tonight
Time has a way of diluting emotions
But I won't let distance get in between us, no
Oh, I'm coming home tonight
Meet me in the valley where the kids collide into the morning
Oh my god, my town is coming alive (coming alive)
I'm coming home tonight, I know you're ready for the sparks to fly
Into the morning
Oh my god, my town is coming alive
'Cause I'm coming home tonight
Oh, woah (oh, woah)
Oh, woah (oh)
Oh, woah (oh, woah)
Oh, woah, oh

Tonight
Cause I'm coming home tonight
Oh, woah (oh, woah)
Oh, woah (oh, woah)
Oh, woah (oh, woah)
Oh, woah, oh

This song makes me emotional `cause my host family played this song in the car at my short homestay in Australia.
I can`t understand what they say perfectly in this song , but this reminds me vividly every beautiful memorise in Australia.
Thank you Australian and sheppard!!!

Have you ever been to Brisbane? "The valley" from this song means "Fortitude Valley", which is a part of Brisbane.

As someone who also have lived in Australia, this music have given me a lot of memories of my younger self back there. I used to listen to listen to this many times in Aussie and the nostalgia hits me really hard.

Since I was very little, I was a big fan of Sheppard. A few months ago I had the chance to go visit Sydney through an exchange program. Once, when I was going home with my host family, this song started to sound on the radio. One of the most special moments I have lived in a long time. I still get emotional when I think about it.

How this isn't a internationally recognized anthem at sporting events, I don't know. It's endearing and brings the wanderer back to Earth. Much love to Oz from the USA for your prodigy and this should be a song played during the Closing Ceremonies at the Olympics. ~ 2024
Personal checklist: Win the Lottery, move to my hometown, rehabilitate all the public spaces where the kids used to play through donations, sit back and watch the next generation do things outside "in the valley."

When I saw them in NYC last November, this was the first song they played, and it blew me away. I had been having a horrible year, and I was feeling so worried and heartbroken about so many different things, but this song helped me remember that it would be alright, because things get better. It was the first time I had felt positive about anything in months. I still get a little teary every time I listen to this. God, I wish this band could possibly know how much they've helped me in dark times.
